WISDOM FOUNTAIN 0307/2010 [Psalm 91 KJV]

 

STRENGTH [ I ]

 

Psalm 91:1-2  KJV  

 

 1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.  2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

 

God’s word is strength to his people. Webster’s dictionary defines strength as any of the following: ability to resist attack, strain or stress; physical, emotional or mental resources. Psalm 91:1-16 indicates the type of strength and resilience God has and which we can rely on to defend us. When we are under his shadow no salvo of the enemy can reach us because we are also the apple of his very eye [Deuteronomy 32:10, Psalm 17:8].

 

Psalm 17:8  KJV  

8Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

 

He watches over you day and night so that no evil may befall you. In the day of trouble he will hear you speedily. Wouldn’t you like to remain under his mighty wings of protection and safety?

 

 PRAYER OF PROTECTION

 

1.      Oh LORD, I seek protection under your shadow. Cover me with your mighty wings and be my fortress in Jesus Name.

 

 2.      Oh LORD watch over me. Encase me in the hollow of your palms and let your angels be adversary to all who want my downfall in Jesus Name. Amen.

THE KENOSIS OR “EMPTINESS” OF CHRIST OF HIMSELF

Bible Nuggets 1108 [Phil 2: 5-11, KJV]

5Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:  6Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:   7But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:  8And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:  10That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;  11And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Jesus emptied himself of his divine deity as The Word of God who had equality with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit to save you and me. He became flesh [John 1:1-5, 14], had to resist sin to the point where his sweat became blood so he can show us that the power of sin is eternally broken and that we can resist and overcome all types of sin. He humbled himself further by taking on the power of death and the grave in an open battle [Colossians 2:14-15] defeating the principalities and powers who held men captive with the intent of dragging them to hell to be eternally separated from God who created all souls for his pleasure. This was what the apostle was talking about, the kenosis or emptiness or servant hood of Christ, and that is why the Godhead crowned him LORD and KING of all creation. The secret was that Jesus being God in the form of man had that mind; a mind that thirsted and was filled with all the righteousness of God [Colossians 1:19]. His earthly mission could easily have been messed up with one sin. Let us hunger and thirst for all the righteousness of God so we can be filled [Matthew 6:33]. That is the secret to receive a future crown and glory from God.

 

Prayer of Faith 1108

Lord, fill me with the spirit of humility and all your righteousness. Let me be completely broken and remove every form of pride and self from my life. Let my life be pleasing to you and watch over my soul in times of distress and anguish. Give me spiritual insight of your plan for my life and let me hold that vision preciously to the end. Grant me determination to fulfill your call upon my life and let me be focused on the blessings and glories ahead as I pursue your vision and fulfill your plan for my life in Jesus Name. Amen.

WISDOM SERIES: WISDOM OF THE CROSS (II)

 

[Bible Nuggets 1021 John 1:  v1-4; v14]

 

Ref: WISDOM OF THE CROSS (I) –  Bible Nugget 0409

                                                      [2 Corinthians 5:19]

 

God Incarnate

For the best provision for man’s redemption, He gave of himself to break the power of sin and release us from bondage, alike to if David was not willing to sacrifice his life to get his family back from the Amalekite, the enemy will not return them back to David on his own accord. Satan will not release you except the chord of bondage is broken by the blood of Jesus. Jesus sacrificed his life to redeem us back to God. This is foolishness to the natural mind. Read the account in John 1, where the bible states it in plain language, that The word became flesh.

 

John 1:  v1-4; v14

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

 2 The same was in the beginning with God.

 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

——-

14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

 

Today God’s promise to everyman is that though you sin be as scalet they can be as white as snow if we  confess and forsake them [Isaiah 1: 18].  The word of God reveals to us who Jesus is. That is the authentic source. Do not live by hearsay. Dig into the word of God and find the truth for yourself. If you want salvation, healing, deliverance, promotion, etc you find it in the word. This is the honey dimension of the word.

 

[Psalm 19: 7-11]

7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

 8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

 9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

 10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

 11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

 

Prayer of Faith 

1.     Let your word bring light and life to my spirit and soul in Jesus Name. Wash me clean, spirit, soul and body by the water of your word in Jesus Name.

 

2.     Lord, give me spiritual appetite for your word. Make your word, dearest to my soul. Let me desire your word than silver or gold and make it sweater to me than honey in the honeycomb in Jesus Name. Amen.

PRECIOUS THOUGHTS

 

Author: Esther Agbi

 

[Wisdom Fountain 0901]

 

Psalm 139 v 17

 

How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them.

 

You know, it is interesting to note that something like “thoughts” could be precious. Things like gem stones, gold, diamond etc are usually considered precious. Sometimes, one wonders in thought, what is called day dreaming and it could be sweet moments.

 

Have you ever wondered, or daydreamed or imagined that people could be outside your home with balloons, camera crew, knocking at your door, waiting for you to open. As you open your door, you are told that you have just won 100 million dollars. What a great surprise and amazement. Such thoughts are sweet. When or if it does come to pass, it will be treasured.

 

Today’s scripture tells us that God, your Father’s thoughts towards you are precious. “thoughts” , not one, two or three… but numerous. Anytime he thinks about you, something good races through his mind. How marvelous that sounds. It gives me great joy just to know that God is concerned about my well being and yours.

 

Jer.29 v. 11 “For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end”.

 

That expected end that God has for you will surely come to pass in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

 

Prayer Points

 

1.     Lord thank you for the marvelous thoughts you always have for me. Thank for placing my name in your good book for a blessing always in Jesus Name.

 

2.     Every good thing God has destined to bless me with will surely happen in Jesus Name. No devil from the pit of hell or his agents will be able to stop it in Jesus Name. Amen.

SWEET MEDITATIONS

 33I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

 34My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.

 

Songs and praises to God keep the regenerated mind in tune with the heavenly choir of angels and departed saints that renders praises to God day and night. Let your mind be that dynamo generating praises to God all the time as long as you still have breath in you.

 

Prayer Point

1.      Oh Lord, make my innermost being a continual well spring of praises and fill my heart with sweet meditations of your presence in Jesus Name.

2.   I will not murmur. I will not grudge. Oh Lord, let my heart be a generator of songs and praises. You heart, make feasts of songs and praises to God always in Jesus Name. Amen.

THANKSGIVING TO A CARING GOD

 

Wisdom Fountain 0114 [Psalm 103 v 1-5, NKJV]

 1Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits:
 3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases,
 4 Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
 5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s,

The goodness of God is all en-compassing touching every area of our lives. The bible instructs us to remind ourselves of all the blessings we receive from God, because the memory of man tends to be short. One needs to search into the inner man and call to remembrance every good thing we received from the Lord and as the hymn writer says “it will surprise you what the Lord has done”. Cultivate a heart of gratitude and God will do more. Let us bless God from our soul with the following prayer.

 

Prayer of Faith 0114

Magnify the LORD, O my soul and exalt His Holy Name for the great blessings he has done for me since my youth. For saving my soul by revealing to me the knowledge of your only begotten Son. For overcoming trials and temptations and being there for me in times of trouble. For preserving my life and restoring my health. For making me whole,  body, soul and Spirit. Bless the LORD O my Soul.
